Publisher's summary

New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed knows a best seller when she sees one - even if it is just a tantalizing partial manuscript submitted by a writer identified only as P.M.E., with the return address of an obscure island off the Georgia coast. Maris is intrigued enough to search for him.

Her trip to Georgia to meet the mysterious author takes her to an eerie, ruined cotton plantation, where Maris finds Parker Evans, a man confined to a wheelchair who carefully hides his past. Coaxing his novel from him chaper by chapter, Maris becomes caught up in his tale of two friends who rent a boat with a young woman for a night of sex and drinking. Only one person will return from that trip.

Disturbed about her sexual attraction to Parker and worried about her marriage to author and her co-publisher Noah Reed, Maris returns to New York, where the delivery of Parker's newest chapters convince her they are more than fiction. She wonders how well she knows her husband and begins a harrowing search for a truth that ties back to a terrifying crime and a man who will use her, or anyone, to get his revenge.

Loved it!

Right from the beginning I knew I wouldn't be able to put this one down! I had just finished Smash Cut and this one was even better! And I love Victor Slezak's narrating.

EXCELLENT

One of the best books I have read (listened to) in a long time. Thought I had all the twists figured out, pleasantly suprized by unexpected twists. Very descriptive writing.

loved it

The book was great and loved it. It was a little hard to follow when it was going back and forth from real time to the past and the book.

That was GOOD!!!!

Excellent story by a writer writing about writers writing about writers! But that’s just for starters.

I bought this book at a 2/1 sale because of the thousands of 5 star reviews, and because the sample was most intriguing. I was NOT disappointed. This is my first Sandra Brown book, but certainly not my last.

Also, the narrator, oh the narrator: delightfully versatile and tremendously talented….

For what it’s worth (!), I most highly recommend this…☺️

Great book!

This book was full of plot twists and characters who were much smarter than they appeared at first. There was one plot hole that kind of bothered me. Parker’s manuscript mentions The Vanquished by name and Maris doesn’t notice??
